Gata Kamsky is the only chess prodigy to ever be ranked in the TOP TEN at age 16.
There are five others, though, who at least broke into the top twenty at that age. How many of the „other” five can YOU name?

I try not to fanboy when on duty, but Lajos Portisch is a true legend of our sport and a distinguished gentleman. Happy to meet him at his opera arias concert tonight! #ChessOlympiad pic.twitter.com/2kIugmf8qZ
